Able and popular writers dwell with
great emphasis on the vast services rem
dered by certain men in increasing pro
duction or economizing distribution. |
think, however, that tendency TO hero
worship may be discerned in their readi-
ness 10 measure the services Of such men
by their success in accommodating wealth.
One might think, for example, from some
OF their statements, that the reduction
which has taken place within the last
twenty years in the charges for trnnsporta-
ton between the west and the seaboard
had been mainly, II not wholly, due 10 a
marvellous capacity for directing railroad
business possessed and exercised by such
men rs Jay Gould and the late Commodore
Vanderbilt: whereas the obvious truth Is
that a number of causes have been oper-
ating within the last quarter OF century
which must have led 10 a large
cheapening OF transportation under
any ordinarily efficient management The
homestead law, enacted in 1852, placed n
high premium on the settlement OF the
public land States and Territories, while
thousands OF miles OF railroads, built
mainly at the public expense, facilitated
access 10 the vacant lends, and furnished
the settlers with n means Of marketing
their produce. These subsidized roads in
the remote west served rs feeders 10 the
main trunk lines further east and, in con-
nection with the general growth Of popu-
alton, 70 Increased their business that II

steel enormously lcsscncd the expense

tives and rolling resulted in further
economies. .....
II is 10 such causes, rather than 20 any
phenomenal power Of management on the
part Of a few men, that we owe the bulk Of
the reduction which has taken place in the

The Panama Canal Company bankrupt

Geo. c. iurbut, In the Forum for November
The funds reported as available on the
30th OF June, 1887, amounted to l43,2 33,-
42S francs. A new loan was offered on the
Goth Of July, OF 100000 thousand-franc
bonds. OF these bonds, offered at 44O
francs, only 25S, SS7 were taken. These
added to the company resources 1890
2S0 francs, and swelled the indebtedness
to ] 1901, 81 900 francs, and the yearly
interest TO 5S, l45, $40 francs. The visible
resources OF the company are, therefore,
barely sufficient for one years expenses,
taking the story as ii is told by the Bulle-
tin, with all its evident suppressions and
CLOSES and mystifications. Allowing no
more than their fair value to these, II Is
plain that the company is ruined. The
concurrent testimony Of disinterested scien-
tific men, Europeans and Americans, is
that the mass of the excavation TO be made
is even now greater than the company,s
highest estimate for the entire work. 1t
has cost, therefore, 900, 100000 francs to
do nothing at all. II all this money had
been furnished by NJ. Dc Lesseps and his
friends, who could know what they
were doing, IL would have been mere waste
10 spend II on an enterprise conceived in
vanity, and prosecuted without serious
ness and without intelligence; but we have
all been told, with wearlsome iteration,
that the Panama canal was the work OF
poor proprictors, OF people, that is to say,
whoha no money 10 lose. M. De Iesseps
has used the magic OF his name TO beguile
these simple minded folk, and to wheedle
them into risking the hard earned savings
which they kept-such was their knowl-
edge OF the world and OF finance laid away
in corner. II is they, and not lie, who
will suffer by the failure Of the canal, for
his cheerful spirit is not to be quelled by
the misiortunes of Others, nor even by the
reflection that his place in the history Of
his time is already marked out by the side
of that minister who, with light heart,
led his country into the most fatal OF wars,
